FUNCTION BUTTONS (CONTINUED)
In cooling mode, Honeywell Air Coolers provide cool, moist air through
the evaporation of water. There is a manual Water Regulator knob located
in the ice compartment of the unit. This allows you to adjust the amount
of water pumped over the Honeycomb Cooling Media, thus helping to
control cooling and humidification levels.
When the Water Regulator is set to MIN, the water pump distributes a
minimal amount of water to the Honeycomb Cooling Media. This results in
less water evaporation and reduces the cooling effect.
When the Water Regulator is set to MAX, the water pump distributes the maximum amount of water
to the Honeycomb Cooling Media. This results in maximum water evaporation and greater cooling
performance.
SWING
Press the SWING button until the SWING indicator light is illuminated on
the control panel. The louvers will begin to move left to right automatically.
Vertical Air Flow - You can manually adjust the louvers to change vertical
air flow.
ROOM COOLING AND HUMIDIFYING
COOL
Press the COOL button until the COOL indicator light is illuminated on the control panel. This
activates evaporative cooling. The water pump will operate and you will feel the cooler air after the
Honeycomb Cooling Media is completely wet. When the COOL indicator light is switched OFF, the
unit can still function in a fan only mode (without evaporative cooling).

CAUTION:
Unplug the unit from the electrical power outlet before emptying or
refilling the water tank.
Open the Water Fill Door located on the side of the unit.
The Water Level Indicator is located at the front of the unit. Refill the
water tank when water level is low. Do not fill water above the "Max."
water level mark to avoid water droplets collecting on the louvers. Check
the water level in the tank before running the COOL function. Make
sure that the water in the tank is above the minimum water level mark.
Running the unit in COOL mode with inadequate water may cause
pump failure.
Note: If ice is available, you may add ice in the top ice compartment to
enhance the cooling performance.
Note: The water capacity refers to the total volume of water that can be
contained within the air cooler water tank and water distribution system.
The water capacity in the tank at the “Max.” indicator level may be lower
than the actual water capacity of the air cooler.
WARNING: Do not fill water tank with dirty water or salt water. This can
damage the unit and Honeycomb media.

LOW WATER ALARM*
CLEANING & DRAINING THE WATER TANK
If the cooler will not be used for a long period of time, please refer to the STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
GUIDELINES located in the separate Safety & Maintenance Guide.
WARNING:
Before cleaning the unit, switch the unit OFF and disconnect from the electrical socket.
The unit is equipped with a low water sensor. In Cooling Mode, when water in the tank is below the
minimum level, you will hear a beeping sound and the indicator light will flash continuously. The unit
will automatically pause evaporative cooling.
Refill the water tank to deactivate the alarm in cooling mode. First switch OFF the unit and unplug
from the power outlet. Fill the water tank with water above the minimum water level mark. Plug in and
switch ON again.
To deactivate the alarm and continue using the unit as a fan (without evaporative cooling), switch the
unit OFF and then ON again. The Low Water Alarm will not activate in Fan only mode. The Low Water
Alarm will sound again if the COOL function is activated while the water tank is still empty.
*Applicable for models this feature only.
Move the unit to a location where the water can be drained. Remove the cap from the Drain plug
located at the bottom of the unit. Allow the tank to empty.
Refill the water tank with clean water, up to the maximum level and drain it completely.
Use a damp cloth to remove the dirt and dust from the surface of the unit. Never use corrosive
elements or chemicals to clean this product.
When the product is not in use, store the unit in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

CLEANING THE CARBON DUST FILTER* AND HONEYCOMB COOLING MEDIA
The appliance is supplied with a Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media.
The Carbon Dust Filter* and Honeycomb Cooling Media are located inside the Rear Grill. See Figure 1
for instructions on how to remove them from the unit for cleaning and maintenance.
Do not run the unit in COOL mode with stale water in the tank. You must empty the water tank and
refill with fresh water, especially if the tank has not been cleaned in a long time.
The cleaning frequency for the Honeycomb media depends on local air and water conditions.
In areas where the mineral content of water is high, mineral deposits may build up on the
Honeycomb Cooling Media and restrict air flow. Draining the water tank and refilling with fresh
water at least once a week will help reduce mineral deposits. If mineral deposits remain on the
Honeycomb Cooling Media, the media should be removed and washed under fresh water. The
media should be cleaned every two months or sooner, depending on your needs.
For best results allow the Honeycomb Cooling Media to dry after each use by turning off the cool
function 15 minutes before turning the unit off.
